It is difficult for us to understand the action of the Lathrope Committee in recommending to the legislature the provision that the children attending the model schools of the state shall pay a tuition fee of $20.00 annually. It seems inconsistent to us that this action, which seems to indicate an un willingness to adequately take care of the educational institutions, should come at the same time as the estab lishment of one more institution for the state to support at Dickinson. Would it not be a much wiser policy Igree to adequately take care of the insti tutions we already have? It is our be lief that the committee does not in tend the destruction of the model schools of the state, but it could not, if it tried, come more directly to the accomplishment of th...

This great Swedish modern feminist's works have been translated into, all cultured languages, and have been spread broadcast over the earth. El len Key's inspirational and noble book, entitled "Love and Marriage," voices the following ideas and sentiments: "Undisturbed by ridicule and resent ment, th6 women of the new age have continued to preach the love of their dreams, which is also that of the dreams of poets. "For thousands of years, poetly has been picturing love as a mysterious and tragic power. Century after century, poetry sets forth the loftiness of love. But if any one in everyday prose "ventures to say that love may become an ever-loftier emo tion, then this is called...

NEW BILLS IN LEGISLATURE (Continued from Page 1 Section 2.) of all of the speakers, on both sides, was so evident. Every man that spoke seemed to be thoroughly imbued with the forpe of his arguments and was speaking for what he really consider ed would be the best interests of the people of the state. Burnett, the author of the bill, start ed his remarks by stating that the mo tion for indefinite postponement was no surprise to him, that on the other hand he had rather expected it. He said the bill was not a personal matter with him, that he simpy considered that he was carrying out the will of the people by offering the bill, that they had spoken at the last election and were entitled to an audience. He stated that he himself, and a number of other members, had received num erous petitions for the passage of the bill. He felt that it was up to the legislature to pass the bill, even if they thought it would be a failure. T. Twichell Against the Bill. Treadwell Twichell, of Cass, cal...

No rest for Alan till he knew Descending the knoll he reined his lagging mount back into the trail, fol lowing its winding course through the foothills and round'the base of that monolithic mountain toward the junc tion with the ridge trail, miles away.

Section One VOL. XXXVI. NO. 48. Bismarck, N. D., March 1.—The sen ate bill providing for an easier way to move county seats from one town to another had an awful experience in the house and when it came out "rec ommended for passage" it was hardly recognizable. It was amended and amended again. Changes were made so that it would effect only Nelson and Roeltte county and then it was recom mended for passage. A great share of the oratory of the day was expended on this one bill and the assessment life insurance bill was the only other one to call forth any argument. Senators Allen's bill provides a way for allowing assessment life insurance companies to be licensed in the state. The bill was finally recommended for indefinite postponement by a vots of 44 to 36. The clincher motion was at tached later and the bill is gone for good. L. N. Torson of Pierce county was for the bill and made a long, strong address setting forth the vir tues of the measure.
